Character Origins: Raksha and Melanie

Posted on November 22, 2014 by Charles Yallowitz

I guess I’ll scream SPOILERS here even though these characters are so minor that Sari’s skirts and Nyx’s eyes are more essential to the story.  People might know Raksha from Book 5 and Melanie debuts in Book 6.  That’s all … Continue reading →

Posted on November 19, 2014 by Charles Yallowitz
